The Hunter's Daughter is a solid debut novel that shows a promising writing career for Nicola Solvinic. Anna is the daughter of an infamous serial killer, but as a child, her memories were wiped clear of who she really was.  Now, as an adult, she is living a relatively normal life as a sheriff lieutenant, that is, until she is involved in an incident that ultimately starts unlocking her memories.   

As her past becomes clearer, Anna struggles with what it could mean for her future, and the hunt for a copycat killer makes things even more muddy. 

A mix of mystery, police procedural, and a little paranormal vibe, I found myself invested in the story and kept in suspense of how it would in.  Lots of dreaming and being in the forest did take me out of the flow and would have liked to have had fewer wood scenes, but overall, it was a good read.  

I was provided an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Feels way too much like the TV show Hannibal, which I also disliked.
